There is a need for greater understanding of the health impact
of various design elements in neonatal intensive care units
(NICUs) as well as cost-benefit information to make informed
decisions about the long-term value of design decisions. This
is particularly evident when design teams are considering the
transition from open-bay NICUs to single-family-room (SFR)
units. This paper introduces the guiding principles behind
target value design (TVD)—a price-led design methodology
that is gaining acceptance in healthcare facility design within
the Lean construction methodology. The paper also discusses
the role that set-based design plays in TVD and its application
to NICUs.
